Server-side "submit form" simulator

[Don]

I have a need to simulate the submission of an html-like <form> on the server, and was wondering if
anyone knew of something out there that could do that.

Thanks for your help,
Don

Hi,

You can try Curl (http://curl.haxx.se/)

Or you can try a pear lib (php) :

This HTTP client class does exactly what you need. It may also capture
and send back cookies, handle redirection and authentication.

PHP 4.3.6+ knows how to do a HTTP post natively. See
http://www.php.net/stream_context_create/.
